Dear Friends, 

We hope this letter finds you well.  We wanted to share an exciting opportunity with you. Our current fundraising campaign, 200 Hearts, $1,000 Each: Together, We Build Dreams, aims to raise $200,000 for the pre-development of the 0.6 parcel of land to build six modest-sized affordable homes on Gopher Field. 

At Community Homes of Patagonia, we are dedicated to helping keep Patagonia vibrant and diverse and providing homeownership opportunities to our low- and moderate-income households. One of our recent successes is partnering with the University of Arizona’s School of Architecture to have their graduate students present ideas of a site plan with several amazing floor plans for Gopher Field to several community households that CHOP has been working with within our Homebuyer Education program. This story is just one example of how your support makes a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.

We invite you to help make the 200 Hearts, $1,000 Each: Together, We Build Dreams a success. Your generous donation will allow CHOP to pay for the predevelopment and infrastructure on Gopher Field. With your support, we can move the family with three children into a modest three-bedroom/two-bathroom house, and our single friend into a one-bedroom/one-bathroom where each will feel safe and stress-free of losing their current rental to a rate increase.

To contribute the $1,000 as a Patron of the campaign, or a Legacy Donor = $25,000, or a Founder = $50,000 please visit our website at chopatagonia.org, mail your donation to PO BOX 1063, Patagonia, AZ 85624, or contact us at chopatagonia@gmail.com for more information. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal.

We are also excited to announce that all CHOP Board Directors and its staff member have donated to kick-start the campaign. We hope to receive your donation by year’s end. This is also a unique opportunity for anyone interested in becoming a matching donor to maximize your support and make an even greater difference, please let us know. 

Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to our cause. Together, we can achieve great things and create lasting change in our community.
